Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are: a. cytoplasm b. golgi body c. mitochondrion d. ribosome e. vacuole

The answer is Golg body/apparatus

Explanation:

Proteins are synthesized in the ribosomes after a gene has successfully undergone transcription and translation processes. However, the synthesized protein needs to undergo sorting, modification and packaging before it finally leaves for its final destination. These process of sorting, modification and packaging is conducted by an organnelle called GOLGI APPARATUS. The modified protein is then transported via transport vesicles to their respective target locations or organs where they will be used.

The illustration in the question here is similar to the above explanation. Cacao beans are the proteins produces from gene expression. They arrive in the factory, which is the Golgi apparatus in this case and undergo sorting and packaging. After this processes, they are later put into large trucks, which are the transport vesicles, and transported to a commercial chocolate company (target location/organs) which they are used.

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

The arrival of cacao beans in the factory can be likened to the transcription of mRNA using a DNA template.

Sorting of the best beans at the factory can be likened to splicing process. During splicing, the introns are removed from the newly synthesized mRNA and the exons are joined together. The introns represent the non-coding portion of the mRNA while the exons represent the coding sequence.

The checking of bags by quality control can be likened to the final proofreading of the mRNA after splicing before being transported to the cytoplasm where they are used to synthesize proteins.

The large truck that transports the cacao beans represent the transport proteins that transport the mRNA to the cytoplasm while the chocolate-producing company represents the ribosome which is the site of protein synthesis.

Risk-taking has been shown to be affected at a BAL of __________.
Nastasia [14]

The correct option is A.

Risk taking has been shown to be affected at a BAL of 0.01.

The full meaning of BAL is blood alchol level. Blood alcohol level refers to the amount of alcohol that is present is a specific quantity of one's blood. As the quantity of alcohol one is taking in increasing the BAL also increases and this affect the way one behave. At the BAL of 0.10, one's ability to think and to judge is severely affected thus making one to become prone to unnecessary risk taking behavior.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

Your teacher gives you this model of transcription. Choose the statement that best describes the role of DNA in transcription.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A)

DNA directs the synthesis of RNA.

B)

DNA splits into two strands of RNA.

C)

A strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.

D)

Two strands of RNA are formed by copying each of the strands of DNA.

The correct answer would be that <u>a strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.</u>

<em>Transcription is a process during which RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. The coding strand of the DNA is utilized as a template for the formation of messenger RNA. During this process, the double helix structure of the DNA is unwound by an enzyme and the coding strand is bound by a short DNA strand at the beginning of a gene while another enzyme adds RNA nucleotide bases to elongate the short strand.</em>

The correct option is C.
